I have BI running as a server to display the images from my cameras (3 Hikvision HD & 2 Foscam SD). I would like to also see this on my Samsung Smart TV upstairs. Using the TV browser may be an option (though I see mixed results in a related thread elsewhere here), but what would seem easier is if I can simply have a browser display as one of my HDMI inputs. Then, toggling between the HDMI and TV inputs I can view the cameras. To do this I was thinking of running a Raspberry Pi (which has a HDMI output) and having its browser (Midori?) directed to my LAN address:port for my BI server. I haven't tried it yet, but it seems almost too easy. Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated. I plan to try this soon and report back. Many thanks.
